FIVE YEARS LATER...
"ahhh!" Elara jolted awake, she had the same nightmare that hadn't stopped occuring ever since five years ago.
five years ago, she woke up one morning in the hospital with no idea of what had happened, her body was full of scars and injuries but still she couldn't remember how she had gotten them. The police came and many other people came to interrogate about what happened that night, they claimed that there were some dead bodies of some people not far from where she was found and asked if she knew what happened but the only thing she remembered was going to buy some sobering drink for her mother and then the next thing was that she was waking in the hospital.
She sighed and checked the time on her bedside table and it was barely six in the morning, once again she was up super early due to the nightmare, well since she was up already she could just start preparing form her journey.
First she needed to take her shower. she got out of bed and walked into the shower. The figure behind the transparent glass door was one a everybody would kill for.
Elara was a little on the short side although not that short but still her height would fail when compared to other girls her age, maybe because of this God compensated her with an exquisite and curvy figure that couldn't be seen so easily, her skin was jade white, it looked like it was made of pearls as it sparkled, emitting an alluring light.
She was beautiful, very beautiful beyond explanation, the most beautiful part of her was her rare blueish green eyes that shone under light and accentuated her scarlet red hair
After what felt like hours, she was done bathing_don't blame her, she was a sucker for long showers.
She casually picked a baggy sweat croptop and matched it with a high-waist tight jeans that perfectly hugged her hips then finished up with a pair of pink sneakers to go with the croptop and a black sunshade.
it was past eight when she was done dressing, so she walked to the kitchen and hurriedly prepared breakfast along with some takeaways for her journey.
She sat to savour her well garnished Mac and cheese, when she heard footsteps from at her back. she didn't need to think to know it was her mother.
"good morning mum" Elara greeted
"hmmm" the woman gave a one syllabled answer and sat down at the counter with a bottle of vodka and a glass cup in her hand.
'drinking so early in the morning' Elara furrowed her brows but didn't say anything to her, from time in memorial she had always known that her mom was a drunk, she could never do without drinking and maybe this excessive drinking had given rise to her terrifying temper.
with a gentle tone she asked "I made some Mac and cheese, there's a little left in the pot, do you want some?"
"when are you leaving?" this was the answer she got in return.
Elara heart sank when she heard this words. Between her and her mother she didn't know who was more excited that she was leaving.
Her mother has always never been kind to her, even when she was little she could feel her dislike for her. She would be a liar if she said she didn't know the reason but she also felt it was unfair for her mother to blame her for it.
Suzy had fallen in love with her college bestfriend, but it was only a one-sided love as Flynn was so much in love with his girlfriend, despite this fact Suzy still held unto her crush for him. even till after he had gotten married and had his first set of twin, she was still madly in love with him. Then it was as if luck was shining on her cause four years into Flynn's wedding his wife had died in an accident and he became a widower.
with the identity of a bestfriend she went to visit him and his four year old twins then after a night of catching up over a bottles of wine, Suzy found her opportunity to drug Flynn into sleeping with her. Things would still have been fine between them after that incidence but she found out she was pregnant and began trying to force him into marrying her.
In anger Flynn got an appeal from the court that restrained Suzy from blackmailing him, the appeal gave him the right to decide if he would want to get involved in the child's life or not.
Though he had disliked her mother he still decided to be a part of Elara's life but have nothing to do with her mother.
Because of this Suzy had passed her resentment of Elara, she had never physical laid hands on her because she knew she would get into trouble if Flynn found out but her words were more than enough to break the girls soul.
it was her own dubious act yet each day didn't pass that she didn't blame Elara for it.
